P English ch PDF First pdfColorConvert pdfCorrect pdfInspektor pdfColorConvert Color conversion easily done... pdfColorConvert from callas software is more than just a tool for simple color conversion: in many printing houses, newspaper and journal publishing houses, it has become an indispensable tool in PDF workflow, because fast and problemfree erroneous color settings can be changed. Whether an internationally operated business or a handicraft business on the corner, a considerable part of an advertising budget goes to print products. However, not every marketing colleague is also, at the same time, a trained graphic artist. Moreover, few employees possess the grounded expertise in the printing domain or even in modern color management. Indeed, high-quality layout programs possess all the necessary color management settings, for example for a correct four color offset printing on coated paper; however, most users are unfamiliar with them. Therefore, ever more frequent crude errors will only be discovered by the commissioned printing house and will certainly be expensive. Prepared print announcements cause substantial problems in printing houses with mismatched color settings. pdfColorConvert requires, with its easily understood user interface, only three different parameter settings for PDF color optimization. With the color space designation of the original file, the definition of the profile goal, as well as the handling of spot colors, every imaginable conversion is possible. The most important profiles, based on ISO standards, are provided with pdfColorConvert and thus enable everyone to perform professional color management – whether for printing, the internet, or CD-/DVD-ROM production. pdfColorConvert is not only an unbeatable aid for professionals from the printing industry but also for processing PDF files from the office world. Thus, the tool makes the simple conversion possible of PDF files which have been prepared in standard Office programs, such as Word or PowerPoint. Few users from the management, marketing or the secretariat know that these programs operate in the RGB color space, and the conversion of the primary colors into printable CMYK colors is not an easy matter. Inappropriate conversion to CMYK results in dull colors and composite black. However, pdfColorConvert possesses its own conversion algorithms particularly optimized for this purpose, which ensure that the colors in Office can be accurately converted and printed out at any time. pdfColorConvert is the universal tool for PDF colors Very easily understandable PDF color optimization settings The tool offers perfect colors with a few clicks or with optimal default configuration files in the automated CLI version. In the process, it always reliably adapts to even the most difficult data and is ideal for use in accepting automated advertisements or receiving setting copies in publishing and printing houses. For instance, if announcement pages reach the printing machine with color values that are too high, then the machine must be stopped in the worst case scenario and entire production halted resulting in high costs. In order for this not to occur, many businesses already employ callas software’s verification tool, pdfInspektor, with data acceptance, in order to intercept color problems before they arise. Here comes pdfColorConvert onto the scene: whether as an Adobe Acrobat plug-in or as an automated CLI command line module, in both cases, it is at the user’s disposal as a fast, robust and extremely comprehensive tool for color conversion.

For nearly ten years, PrintOnline AG has been instrumental regarding the Swiss advertising and printing industry. What sounds first of all like a stroke of genius for an internet startup company has been located in a suburb of Zurich for a long time. PrintOnline AG operates a fully automated digital portal for sending announcements over the internet. What is to be seen on the flat screens in the five-person company is this: nearly all large print advertising campaigns of the country are completed over the POLDIRECT portal. From automakers to the food industry to indigenous wholesale distributors – altogether approximately 50 percent of all Swiss print announcements run over PrintOnline AG’s server. So, at peak times, up to 14,000 announcements are processed per month and up to 1,000 are processed per day. 1. On the one hand, it offers its advertising clients the possibility of digitally submitting their print announcements to all the wellknown newspapers and magazines of Switzerland; 2. On the other hand, it supplies the printing and publishing houses connected to the system with PDF advertisements that are verified and ready to print. The proposal is not financed by announcement and advertising clients but instead by the affiliated publishing houses, who profit doubly: PrintOnline guarantees that all sources of error, which can cause high costs at printing, are eliminated at the outset. Just as important: Necessary coordination between advertising departments and clients are reduced to a minimum thus saving money. “We have consciously decided in favor of the Zurich region, because the center of the Swiss printing and advertising industry is here.“ explains Kurt Obrist, Managing Director of PrintOnline AG. Launched at the end of 1996, the portal took off in February of 1997. Founded as a joint venture of three large publishing houses, Ringier, Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) and Tamedia AG, as well as Publicitas, as a national marketing organization for the Swiss press, the company pursues two goals: Meanwhile, the expanding company is so well known that it verifies and processes not only advertisements but also an entire regional newspaper over the system. “It usually takes between 10 and 20 seconds until a PDF is completely verified, a low resolution version and thumbnail are generated, as well as all data, report included, is written back into the database. Only callas’ CLI tools can do that.“ Roman Vogel, PrintOnline’s IT Chief callas software gmbh · Schönhauser Allee 6-7 · 10119 Berlin (Germany) · Tel +49.30.44390310 · www.callassoftware.com · [email protected] c h “In order to operate a display portal, one needs high-quality tools, which work in a stable fashion and can give a strong performance. For three years, we have continuously used callas’ CLI tools, and we are very satisfied.” Kurt Obrist, Managing Director, PrintOnline callas software sets the standard The heart of the control system are products of callas software. Detailed announcements in PDF format are, first of all, put through the acid test by pdfInspektor3 CLI, which is integrated into the portal. If the files for use are suitable in the prepress stage, the clients immediately receive a report displayed on the internet page and an automatic confirmation e-mail from the system. In the next step, another callas software product, pdfCorrect CLI, produces, in addition to the original, a low resolution copy of the file – as a test by the advertising client or media agency. Then, the advertisements are forwarded on to the printer. Like the office space, all server, storage and network components from PrintOnline are also housed in the NZZ buildings in Schlieren. In this setup, two Linux servers form the test backbone of the portals. Altogether eight files can be verified and processed at the same time employing them. Thus, the load is evenly distributed on both servers, and this ensures a continuous workflow. “From the beginning, we were set on Linux, because it ensures the constant accessibility and stability of the system to the best extent possible,” says IT Chief Roman Vogel. Therefore, in intensive cooperation with callas software, the first Linux CLI command line modules were optimized, which verify PDF files 365 days a year and also correct according to the requirements. However, constant accessibility is not only a challenge to the system but also to data forwarding, because, as some of the affiliated newspapers allow data to be sent, others would like to retrieve it themselves. Therefore, the entire technology must not only run particularly in a stable fashion but, at any time, also be flexible enough for new requests and customer wishes. “That is another reason why we use callas software’s CLI tools: they are not only fast and stable but can also be easily adapted to new workflow environments,” Kurt Obrist explains. “In addition, we are fully set on standard components. callas software, as inventors of the preflight verification in Adobe Acrobat, sets the standard.” PrintOnline uses pdfInspektor CLI for verifying PDF files. The Preflight module is integrated in Adobe Acrobat by default. callas software gmbh · Schönhauser Allee 6-7 · 10119 Berlin (Germany) · Tel +49.30.44390310 · www.callassoftware.com · [email protected] pdfCorrect Reliable PDF corrections in seconds Perfectly errorless PDF files are essential for a reliably functioning workflow in the prepress stage, as well as for printing, because stopping production is not only irritating but also extremely expensive. With pdfCorrect, PDF error correction is no longer a task for specialists but can be accomplished in seconds with some simple mouse clicks. With the vast popularity of Adobe Acrobat, including its free Reader, and PDF support in all well-known programs, print data production and delivery has drastically changed. Clients deliver printing copies exclusively as PDF files when possible. Some printing houses, nowadays, accept in lieu of colleague knowhow, no more pure knowledge of QuarkXPress, Illustrator or InDesign files. PDF files are ideal for the delivery of printing copies if they are correctly prepared. Increasingly, however, production no longer takes place by experienced media service providers but in do-it-yourself procedures in marketing departments, in secretariats and at home on the PC. The creator is responsible for non-professional printing copies, but this doesn’t really help the printing house. In terms of production, unsuitable PDF files are not to be identified at first sight. Therefore, an input verification of printing copies is indispensable and easy to master with Adobe Acrobat’s Preflight or fully automated with pdfInspektor CLI. But what to do when the PDF verification finds forgotten ICC profiles, black areas that knock out or hairlines? pdfCorrect: repairs problems in no time at all. pdfCorrect contains a large selection of ready-to-use default settings. 80 different and typical sources of error, which can be problematic with the later printout. Black text not overprinted leading to ugly streaks? Picture resolution too high paralyzing the RIP? Hairlines, waste stripping in printing? Undesired ICC profiles destroying the black generation? White text or graphic elements, set to overprinting, disappear on the separated printing plates? With the push of a button, pdfCorrect repairs these problems, as well as numerous others and turns unmanageable PDF files into printing copies suitable for production. Default settings offer a suitable configuration in each printout, be it for sheetfed offset printing and web offset printing or gravure printing, respecConfigurations can be flexibly adapted tively, newspaper printing. In addition, experts can take up their own settings to the default configurations and adapt it to their production environment. A further step is the command line module pdfCorrect CLI: Especially for service providers of the printing and media industry, meant for an open or closed workflow system, pdfCorrect CLI offers the completely automated correction of complex PDF files. One can also, quickly and reliably, correct large PDF data sets with this solution, and the optimized files can be routed to the RIP and the printing system for further processing. The integration of pdfCorrect CLI in the workflow systems FullSWITCH and PowerSWITCH of Belgian company Gradual Software is particularly easy; in a few minutes, the installation is complete, and even branched converting lines can be provided in the shortest time possible and carefully supervised. Problems with PDF files at printing are not only irritating but also unnecessary and definitely belong to the past with pdfCorrect from callas software. pdfCorrect possesses all necessary parameters for secure and efficient error correction. As a plug-in for Acrobat, the simply operated tool can provide for almost one hundred percent security with data preparation by the user. pdfCorrect finds callas software gmbh · Schönhauser Allee 6-7 · 10119 Berlin (Germany) · Tel +49.30.44390310 · www.callassoftware.com · [email protected] c h pdfCorrect ...reliably corrects more than 80 different PDF problems, even the most complex cases. pdfCorrect uses a combination of preflight and subsequent troubleshooting to avoid bad outputs and effectively guards companies against production downtimes.

Thanks to its own development of online project management and verification tools, the company is able to support its customers in a variety of print and data handling tasks including magazine production and commercial print and mailing services. F.E.Burman uses callas software’s pdfInspektor to check incoming PDF files. F.E.Burman Limited is one of the best known prepress and printing service providers in Britain. Founded in 1958, the company offers comprehensive file and media management for incoming customer files in addition to the professional staging of digital print data. F.E.Burman is involved in the prepress production of many publications as well as handling the asset, content, and database management and business-continuity for some of the worlds largest international publishers.The company also specialises in the production of quick digital and offset printing mailing and fulfilment. Members of staff work round the clock in South East London to meet the needs of the company’s well-known customers, which include individual graphic designers up to well established blue-chip companies such as The Bank of England and HSBC. Clients also include publishing houses such as Time Inc., The Guardian Newspaper Group, the British Medical Journal, and IPC Media. F.E.Burman’s success can be attributed to the fast working and processing times achieved by using the internet for data delivery, the use of the most up-to-date file server technology, online systems with integrated project management tools, and seamless automatic workflows. Many of the services F.E.Burman offers are custom built by F.E.Burman using best-ofbreed tools to meet deliver exactly what is needed. This allows F.E.Burman to offer special services, such as Auditor, to customers like IPC Media. Auditor enables IPC Media to check and project manage magazines before sending them on to the final destination which includes printing as well as digital editions. This tool, which was developed by F.E.Burman is easily integrated into existing editorial and workflow systems and accessed by customers and employees via a normal internet browser. The ‘Country and Leisure’ department relies on the Auditor for print data checks. This tool allows publications such as ‘Anglers Mail’, ‘Country Life’, ‘Golf Monthly’, or ‘Motor Boat and Yachting’ to be checked before they even leave the publishing house. callas software gmbh · Schönhauser Allee 6-7 · 10119 Berlin (Germany) · Tel +49.30.44390310 · www.callassoftware.com · [email protected] c h “We are extremely pleased with the performance of the pdfInspektor.” Andy Psarianos, F.E.Burman director in charge of development “First we like to define a process and then we automate it, not the other way around”, explains Andy Psarianos, F.E.Burman director in charge of development. “Auditor allows our clients to manage their publications more effectively by centralising the final stages of checking and distributing files and therefore reducing costs and saving time. We built it with this in mind, and to us it was clear that pdfinspektor was the tool that we needed to make the validation part of Auditor work. It is fast, easy to work with, and does exactly what we want it to do accurately and without flaw thousands of times a week. It only takes seconds to check quite complex PDF files so we give our clients instant feedback therefore giving them a chance to rectify the problem immediately. I couldn’t be happier”. Auditor uses pdfInspektor in the background to check all incoming files. It can identify and weed out files that aren’t suitable for printing immediately. The detailed pdfInspektor reports that are created during the check help customers and employees to quickly identify the problem, thereby avoiding unnecessary costs. Previously, prepress employees at F.E.Burman often had to open defective files manually, find the problem, and then attempt to correct the file. Defective files can now be identified quickly and replaced. Thanks to the Auditor and the pdfInspektor, defective PDF files that cause costly problems are a thing of the past. “We are extremely pleased with the performance of the pdfInspektor. Without it, we would not have been able to offer the ditor service CMYK in its current form. We also use the pdfInspektor to check all other customer PDF files. This is because using the quick and reliable pdfInspektor ensures that the PDF publication pages and ads that we receive from the publishing houses are 100% perfect for printing” says Andy Psarianos. F.E.Burman utilizes pdfInspektor to verify PDF files in Auditor callas software gmbh · Schönhauser Allee 6-7 · 10119 Berlin (Germany) · Tel +49.30.44390310 · www.callassoftware.com · [email protected] pdfInspektor CLI Errors that are detected early cost less... Integrated into Adobe Acrobat Professional as the ‘Preflight’ module, pdfInspektor is now the standard tool for checking PDF files in the print industry. pdfInspektor, a flexible and fast command line module, is now getting ready to take the automated digital workflow system market by storm. Since it was first developed in the early 1990s, Adobe Systems’ Portable Document Format (PDF) has become the de facto standard for data delivery in the print industry. The advantages of the format for print publishing have always been clear: It’s a cross-platform format that enables considerably smaller file sizes and allows embedded fonts. PDF was also the first format to allow the digitization of the entire work process, from document creation to the printing press, and to allow extensive automation to reduce process times and costs. Automatic validation with pdfInspektor CLI As a command line tool, pdfInspektor can offer even more functions. A flexible and reliable high-performance validation tool for automation, it can be integrated into any digital workflow. However, even PDF technology has a drawback: Not all PDF files can also be used for professional production printing. Ostensibly correct PDF files that were produced by less than ideal software products or that were not optimized or validated for printing come to a full stop when they reach the printing press, resulting in significant additional costs. This is where callas software’s pdfInspektor comes into play: As of Version 6, this tool is an integral preflight plug-in for Adobe Acrobat Professional, and is the nearest thing to a standard tool for the professional validation of PDF files for printing that the industry has. It allows numerous applicationdependent checks to be carried out for various printing tasks or for publishing PDF files on the internet. More than 800 different properties can be combined as required to check whether or not PDF files are suitable for printing and to quickly and easily find any errors. With callas software’s Preflight module, Adobe Acrobat provides users of Adobe Acrobat Professional with the most powerful tool for comprehensively checking PDF files on the market. Easy-to-use user interface of pdfAutomator makes automated PDF processing child’s play pdfInspektor CLI provides printers, publishers, and media service providers with the ability to automatically check incoming PDF files at the data acceptance stage to see whether or not they are suitable for production. To aid this process, pdfInspektor offers extensive report options that enable problematic objects to be quickly identified – even in large, complex PDF files. Errors can be easily displayed using screens, with comments or on separate layers. PDF files with content that cannot be corrected or that would require a disproportionately high amount of work to correct can be weeded out. This means that defective files do not even reach the printing process itself, and customers can use the reports to facilitate the revision process. This is why many companies already use callas software’s pdfInspektor CLI validation tool for data acceptance and validation: Devotees include Konradin Druck of the Konradin publishing group (based in LeinfeldenEchterdingen near Stuttgart), PrintOnline AG of Zurich, and F.E.Burman of London.
